I have a monitor that has "eco" mode, reducing the brightness. Is that a different DCC command or are they implementing a similar gamma reduction? If not could an eco mode be called, if indeed it is a industry wide standard for reducing energy usage?


Brightness is literally just a backlight power level (pretty much), so gamma and eco mode are a completely separate concept. Frankly I have no idea what eco mode means, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's just brightness * 0.75 + contrast * 1.25.
